"Private provision of public services: The Swedish experience"

Guest lecture by Professor Henrik Jordahl, Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN), Stockholm

Services provided by the Swedish welfare state rest on three pillars: 
tax financing, competition and freedom of choice between providers. 

Both competition and freedom of choice have been added in the last 25 years, and today most private providers are for-profit companies. How has the Swedish model developed? What are the consequences for education, health care and elderly care? And what are the prospects for the future?

Venue: 309

The guest lecture is open for all interested. Welcome!
